Katradhu Vaan Alavu - 11

Hi Buddies, I am back again (ofcourse after a short while)

Before entering into the Episode, something for you all :-

Tooth Brushes and Wives are not to be shared with any one - Italian Saying.

Don't trouble trouble till trouble troubles you.

Wife is nothing but knife so be careful.

Will you please answer ?

1. If you go to a Parlour and you get a ice chilled cool drinks and if you want to bring the same to the drinkable chillness - what will you do ? (Pl don't say that you would make use of the Stove).

2. If you go by a train and the climate happened to be very chill and you get a side berth and in the absence of the blankets what would you do ? (Pl don't say that you would lift some one else's blanket ?)

3. If you get a Degree Coffee and you are in a hurry to have it early with lesser heat and should be within no time, what would you do ? (Pl don't say that you would forgo the Coffee).

Nuv u may go ahead with the Episode.

The days were moving on slowly without much of the changes. I was a bit improving in my Studies (Examination time la Nallaa Padikkira Payyan Pakkathil vutkaarndhaal - Improve aaga maatenaa enna ?!). The marks were not that bad. There was a slight improvement.

During the subsequent book outs, apart from going to the Cousin's House, I thought of going to other places as well. I along with my friends went to Ashta Lakshmi Temple, Thiruthani Murugan Temple, Maangaadu Amman Temple, Golden Beach (we had a concession in the entry fee as well), Besant Nagar Beach, Marina Beach. Once on our way back from the Marina Beach, the bus was over crowded and I could get a place at the last seat window side. A cute figure was ready to compromise and sit with my friend. I told her that he would stand. My friend was looking at me with Netrikan. I told Netrikan thirapinum cutie udan vutkaarvadhu thappu (adhu appa - ippa adhellam onnum illa - right ?). My friend was really frustrated.

In one of my trips when I was alone, I just handed the money for a ticket for my back to Tambaram Base. In those days, when you approach Tambaram from the City, the Sky scrappers used to be decreasing and on the contrary the Sky scrappers were increasing and due to which there was an Alarm in my Brain. I could make out that I was going towards the city rather than coming to Tambaram which is situated in the outskirts. That time the following incidence came to my mind, ofcourse not at all worried.

When I was in my Plus One, a friend of mine whenever and wherever he called, I accompanied. Only once, when I called he did not. I was realling waiting for an opportunity. He is from my native village. We used to go in the same bus and come back in the same bus. Our village has four stoppings and we both can use any of the two neighbouring stoppings cos the stoppings are of equal distance from both of our houses. With his refusal, slowly I was keeping a distance. Very soon, on one of the fine evening, I could see him sitting at the front of the bus. As it is, I was in no mood to talk and mingle with him, I preferred to sat at the back. The bus stop came, the gentleman did not get down, why cos, he was sleeping. Normally I used to get down at the first stopping. But in order to confirm whether he himself or with the help of others got down at the next stopping, I might or might not know. Hence, I got down at the second stopping. I waited for the bus to move, even then this so called friend did not get down. I heaved a great sigh of relief. I came to know on the next day from him that he got down at the third stopping which is almost half a Kilo Metre away and ofcourse this was not sufficient. What to do, his fate was good and mine was not that good ?!?.

Before the start of the Book outs, the trainees could invite their guests to the Main Guard Room at the entrance of the Camp which is almost 2 1/2 Km away from our Billets. They used to bring the favourites of the trainees ranging from Idlis, Dosas, Upmas, Snacks, Savouries and sweets.

Just like this our Six and half months training went off quickly. For a Defence Person, when he travels on leave, once in a year he can avail Free Railway Warrant (FRW). It shall be issued from the duty station to his nearest Railway station. For me the nearest Rly Stn is 65 Kms away. Be it Salem, Erode, Karur (Naatamai Aiya Avargal Vooru, right ?!), Trichy. For me the best one was Salem, as it was well connected with the North due the presence of Broad Gauge (BG). Hence, I opted for Salem. The FRW was issued to us for doing reservation in advance and we did in one of the Book Outs. If the FRW was availed, one can make use of the Concession Vouchers (CVs) and 50% would be borne by the Indian Railways (IR).

C U Soon......

May God Bless.

AMCHI MUMBAI

A City where everything is possible, especially the impossible.

Where lovers first love and then marry,
Where there is place for every Tom,

Dick and HarryWhere telephone bills make a person ill,
Where a person cannot sleep without a pill.

Where carbon-dioxide is more than oxygen,
Where the road is considered to be a dustbin,

Where college canteens are full and classes empty,

Where Adam teasing is also making an entry,

Where a cycle reaches faster than a car,
Where everyone thinks himself to be a star,

Where sky scrapers overlook the slum,
Where houses collapse as the monsoon comes,

Where people first act and then think,
Where there is more water in the pen than ink,

Where the roads see-saw in monsoon,
Where the beggars become rich soon,

Where the roads are levelled when the minister arrives,

Where college admission means hard cash,
Where cement is frequently mixed with ash.

This is Mumbai my dear, But don't fear, just cheer,

come to Mumbai every year!

Hi Buddies, I am back. How are you all ?

On the first Book Out day, I including my friends felt very happy, as we were allowed to go out after a period of three months. Normally for such a long period, we never had restrictions, as we came from the Civil Life. It was really a different experience to have restrictions and it was new thing as well for us . We all had restrictions during the time of examinations at home (To be frank, even during exams, I did not have any restrictions).

During my Training period, we wore Khaki Shirt and Pant and we were from different Squadrons. In order to differentiate, we were given different Badges and with the colour and the number in the Badges, one could easily differentiate and make out about Squadron. Since we were in the Basic Phase, our Number was 1 and the colour of the cloth was White like my Manasu.

My cousin's late Husband, Dr Dhandayutham (a student of Mu Va) was a 'Sahitya Academy Award Winner of 1975'. He was a HOD - Tamil in Kulalampur University (Malaysia). In order to extend support, I did listen to my family members and visited them. So, even now I don't have any idea at all about Chennai. She was staying at Besant Nagar and just before Auto Shankar's Story came to notice, her house was purchased.

During Week Ends, I used to go there in the morning and did spend my time till evening and used to be back the Camp. She has three children namely Arun, Arthi and Ilango and ofcourse, they are all married now (Ah, Aah, E - I mean in Tamil). Dr Dhandayutham wanted to settle in Chennai and he was about to take over the school named 'The School', of TVS Group. But before that could happen, he left this World.

When I was on my way to Besant Nagar in a bus, a passenger was asking for a Bus Ticket from me, as I was in Khaki. On the road, enroute my Cousin's house, a Mum threatened by showing me to her kid saying that if he did not stop weeping, she would complain to me so that I would put the kid into the Jail. It was really a different experience to see the people with such remarks. Ellaam en neram and enna seiya ?!?

It was a great change to have homely food after three months at my Cousin's House though we did have food from 'A Home Away from Home'. Ofcourse, I used to finish my B'Fast at Mess and the Lunch and at times the dinner also at my Cousin's House. The life was going on without much of the changes in Chennai. It was really a different experience to stay away from home and mingle with many, having had no such previous experiences.

C U Soon......... May God Bless.

Hi Buddies, I am back again.....

"God cannot go everywhere, so He made Mother"

During 1988, there was a Major Passing Out Parade (MPOP), for which there used to be events which normally may not be there for other routine Passing Out Parades. We were the junior most lot. We were made to participate in the PT Display as a part of MPOP. Considering my good performance, I was put in the stand by lot. I was very sure that I would not participate in the display. All our friends were given vigorous training for the display. Since we should not be left just like that we were also made to undergo the training. No GTI was watching the stand by that keenly. Wouldn't it be enough for me, so I was extra casual. My bad luck, one of the GTI watched me and I was asked to report to another but very very strict GTI. Sulukku edukka pattadhu enbadhai sollavum vendumo ?!?

For the Display, the dress was full White and White and we were not having. Hence, it was to be purchased from the Market. That way there was a need to go to the Market and I was one among the lucky lot to go out just before three months. Otherwise, three months training is a must before going out in the Civil Area after joining IAF. We went by the Military Truck and what a journey it was ?!?

It took almost three to four hours in the Market to finish the purchase and by the time we were back, it was around 2100 hrs. Food was kept ready for us both NV and Veg. But the ladle was only one, what an experience ? Then we got excused from the Night Roll Call. We were privileged to escape from that. Hardly any one gets excuses from the Night Roll Call.

So, the training was going on smoothly. So, the day of the MPOP came and my fellow trainees did display a very good display ?!? during the MPOP. It was well appreciated, no doubt since I was not one among them - right ?!? The training we did included the Drill/PT/Games and the Education.

Every three months, there used to be new intakes for the induction into the IAF. Those many personnel go out as well. In order to fill the gap, the recruitment goes on. Or else, there will be a lot of short fall and hence, the recruitment used to be there every three months. When it was felt not necessary that time, there might not be recruitments. Or else, the recruitment is a continuous process.

Like IAF, we have Indian Army, Indian Navy. These are the three Services of the Nation and these are Military Forces. Similarly, we have Para Military Forces as well, like CRPF, BSF, etc. In my opinion, the toughest life is of BSF, Army and that of CRPF as well and at times the life in the Navy also tougher. By and large, the life in the IAF is comparatively comfortable.

C U Soon... May God Bless.

Katradhu Vaan Alavu - 08

If God be with us, who would be against us.


Early morning – Health Run and every one could have B’Fast. Immediately after the BF should had to go for the Parade. Immediately after the parade, there used to be a Tea Break. It lasted for about half an hour time, during that time Tea and snacks were provided. Then after all should attend the Classes.

Like an officer with different Branches, the men (the correct Terminology is Airmen) were from different trades. Basically, the Technicians and the Non-Technicians. The Technicians are from both Mechanical and Electrical & Electronics stream. For the Mechanical part – the IAF has Air Frame Fitter, Engine Fitter, Mechanical Transport Fitter and Weapon Fitter and the Electrical & Electronic part – Electrical Fitter, Instrument Fitter, Radar Fitter, Radio Fitter. The Missile Fitters are available in both the Branches of the Engineering.

When it comes to Non-Technical Stream – the IAF has Clk GD (General Duties), Clk PA (Pay Accounting), Clk EA (Equipment Accounting), Equipment Assistant (Store Keeping), Medical Assistant (Nursing), the Edn Inst (Education Instructor) and in the Semi Technical - the SEW (Safety Equipment Worker – Basically the trade behind making of the parachutes) comes.

The main idea of keeping all types of tradesmen is to avoid the entry of the outsiders (I mean the pure civilian work force, for any sort of need), keeping the Nation’s Security as the prime concern. In IAF, atleast at times we could see the Civilians as a daily wager or as a casual labour. But whereas in Army, the usage of Civilians is avoided. All types of work required for a Base (Unit) is done by the uniformed personnel. In Army we could see the Civilians working – who are from MES (Military Engineering Service).

The shoes used for the Morning Health Run is Canvas, for the Parade Anklet Boot (Badaa (Hindi) Boot - Periya Boot) & for the Classes Shoes B/L (Black Leather). After wearing the Badaa Boot in the Parade, B/L in the Classes and using Canvas for the PT in the evening after lunch – every one would feel the difference from the heaviest to heavier and finally lighter.

After the hectic exercises, naturally one would feel like to have rest which was not feasible. As a part of training, other than the night time, the rest time within the day was restricted. So I had been warned many a times, for sleeping in the Class and for the Sloth like behaviour. That was the time I used to get a superb sleep. Immediately within a week of joining, there was a Weekly Test – There were four subjects, namely Mathematics, Theory of Flight, General Service Knowledge and English. My marks were 0, 06, 12 and 18 out of 20 respectively. Mathematics was very simple – But I could not solve even a single sum but still I did not deserve ‘Duck’ – Did I ?

On Tuesdays, my friend and I used to go to a Mandir (Temple) inside the Camp. Definitely the “Aarati” (Irai Geedham) was so much live that even today I am remembering those days. The language also not understandable – Hindi. But still we – Non-Hindi speakers could feel a force that was pulling us towards the temple on every Tuesdays, as we used to get full enthusiasm.

On the First Saturday that followed 08 Jan 88, we were taken in Flights (The same ..... I walk in Flight, run in Flight, talk about Flight idhyaadhi ..... idhyaadhi) to a Barber Shop (with atleast 12 chairs) within the camp, for the hair cut. We could see only the Machines which were in action in the hands of the Barbers and the usage of the Scissors was the rarest one. We were really excited to experience (Bitter ?!?) the Flight. When we came back, there was no water supply. The water timings were 0510 – 0730 hrs, 1300 – 1430 hrs and 1800 – 1930 hrs. When we came back, it was around 1000 hrs and we were tired as well. So, every one slept on the bed – The first time in my life time - touching the belongings without having the bath after the hair cut. It was really ridiculous but still we could not help.

Later we had bath and then after lunch. On every Sunday Evening, a Hindi Movie was screened in the Open Air Theatre as an entertainment. For the first three months of the training period, no one was permitted to go out of the Campus as we would not be aware as how to behave ?!? (ofcourse as a Soldier). So, for whoever he was home sick, it was nothing short of a Jail. But what to do ? - After all, it is a Disciplined Defence Service and no other go. I could get an opportunity to go out of the campus before the completion of first three months ………

C U Soon………… May God Bless
